Entering the fourth quarter on Monday, Curry had been somewhat cold while scoring 20 points. But then Angry Steph showed up after receiving a technical foul for snapping on a referee after the official failed to call a foul on a Curry layup attempt. After that, it was over for the Clippers.
Curry was called for the technical foul with 9:07 left in the fourth quarter. He had 22 points at the time. He then made three straight 3-pointers before dancing all over the Clippers. Curry scored 11 points following the tech while going 4-for-5 from the field. He finished with a game-high 33 points, made seven 3-pointers and was a plus-14.
